Are Wizards protected by Magna Carta?

I was watching the movie _The Winslow Boy_ (the original with
Robert Donat), and as those who have seen it know, the big issue
in that film is whether *any* citizen of the United Kingdom
can be condemned without a trial.  So is Sirius Black a subject
of the Queen?  If he is, then his imprisonment is definitely a
breach of Magna Carta!

It also occurs to me that his imprisonment without a trial is
rendered even more heinous considering all the Death Eaters
who got off on the claim they were under the Imperious Curse.
Why couldn't Sirius have been under the Imperious Curse too?
